Connor Zilisch captured his sixth victory of the Xfinity Series season at Watkins Glen International, but his post-race celebration took an unexpected turn. Moments after climbing from his car, Zilisch lost his balance, fell to the asphalt, and struck his head.
Track personnel quickly responded, placing him on a stretcher and transporting him first to the ambulance, then to the circuit’s intensive care center for evaluation.
